Reflections
- Reflections on Proprietary Software — “This is why, I believe, proprietary software, with its inherent power imbalance favouring developers over users, leads to unethical behaviour and exploitation of users.”

- Apprenticeship Patterns — understand your life as developer in patterns, and learn to recognize ways forward.
- Sexuality and sexism — why expressing sexuality in tech-communities typically leads to problems.
- The Lisp Curse — „technical issues in other programming languages are social issues in Lisp.“ Consequently, Guix and the SRFIs that make such a big difference for Scheme are social in nature.
- Org Mode Syntax Is One of the Most Reasonable Markup Languages to Use for Text – extensive comparison of markup languages
